Yup I sure did but its more of silver grey! I like the color of the car but just to much blue!! to me looked like a all blue brick! Also the blue was dull looking almost flat! Folks around here also thought it looked much better 2 tone! And I liked it and that's what mattered to me! :p :p

two tone

I'm fond of the two tone look.

Newbie, i'm a huge fan of your ride, looks great

Smokie, I love the two tone look, I'm not crazy about the chrome fenders but your car looks great regardless.
